XO, Kitty Season 3 Wraps Filming In Seoul, Netflix Release Expected By Early 2026
Netflix's hit teen romance series XO, Kitty is officially returning with Season 3, and fans can rejoice as the cast and crew have wrapped up filming in Seoul, according to recent reports. While Netflix is yet to make an official announcement, signs point to a release in early 2026, potentially by March.
Director Michael Medico, who has helmed several episodes of the series, confirmed the filming wrap on social media two weeks ago. Sharing a behind-the-scenes photo, he wrote, 'That's a wrap on block 3, season 3 of XO Kitty and my time in Seoul. I fell in love with this city and cast and crew. XO, Medico."
This season, viewers will follow Kitty Song Covey as she enters her third semester at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS). Season 2 left audiences with plenty of emotional cliffhangers, and Season 3 promises even more romantic twists and evolving friendships. Though the show's creators haven't revealed much about the new storyline, media reports suggest that new characters will be introduced, bringing fresh energy and possibly complicating Kitty's love life even further.
The show, a spinoff of Jenny Han's To All the Boys I've Loved Before franchise, has carved its own fan base thanks to its relatable themes, vibrant Korean backdrop, and endearing performances. Season 3 is expected to dive deeper into Kitty's personal journey while also pushing the story closer to what fans are calling the 'MoonCovey endgame", a potential resolution to her ongoing love triangle.
As previously reported by What's On Netflix, filming for Season 3 began in April 2025. While it was initially expected to wrap in June, production extended into mid-July. This extra time likely points to added content or extended episodes, a treat for fans eager for more drama, romance, and Seoul sights.
Though Netflix has not released an official teaser or premiere date yet, the buzz suggests that new episodes will arrive in the first quarter of 2026. Until then, fans can rewatch the first two seasons and speculate about what's next for Kitty and her friends.

Mohit Suri Accused Of Copying Korean Films (Again) As Internet Calls Saiyaara A "Rip-Off" Of A Moment To Remember
New Delhi: Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, released in theatres on Friday (July 18) and opened to an impressive Rs 21 crore at the box office. What's Happening The Mohit Suri directorial has received praise for its music and performances, but has also caught the attention of Internet users for a different reason. Many believe Saiyaara closely resembles the 2004 Korean film A Moment To Remember. The romantic drama follows the love story of Krish Kapur (played by Ahaan Panday), a short-tempered musician, and Vaani (played by Aneet Padda), a shy aspiring journalist. The story takes an emotional turn when Vaani is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, which puts their relationship to the test. The Internet's Verdict Social media users were quick to draw parallels between Saiyaara and A Moment To Remember, which was directed by John H. Lee and starred Son Ye-jin and Jung Woo-sung. That film also revolves around a couple whose lives are changed when the woman is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. Despite her decision to leave, the man stays by her side and helps her relive their memories together. A user wrote, "Major plot points are literally the same, like Alzheimer's, confusion with ex, girl running away. Also, the ending where he recreates the past moment is the same..." Another wrote, "So Saiyaara is based on A Moment to Remember? Mohit Suri and his love for copying South Korean movies. Ek Villain as an adaptation of I Saw The Devil was far apart, as one was an action, revenge drama with no side plot and the other was a romantic drama." While some accused the makers of lifting the plot, others defended the film. "Always remember every top artist copies from one another but you have to give your own flavour while doing and not every filmmaker can do justice or copy another work if they don't have the talent to do so," said one user. Another added, "It's a well-made adaptation even if it is. But I don't think so, this Alzheimer's/disease-ridden love story is a common trope among many love stories and it works since it provides a direct emotional connect." As of now, the makers of Saiyaara have not released any statement on whether the film is an official remake of the Korean drama. Saiyaara is written by Sankalp Sadanah, with dialogues by Rohan Shankar. The music is composed by Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Rishabh Kant, Vishal Mishra, Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nizami. The film is produced by Yash Raj Films' CEO Akshaye Widhani.
